Dubai: Arada registered year-on-year sales growth of 199 percent in the UAE during 2025, with AED17.3 billion worth of homes sold across master-planned communities and luxury developments in Dubai and Sharjah. Driven by strong demand for properties in its existing and newly announced projects, the master developer sold 5,140 homes last year, more than double the 2,171 units recorded in 2024.
According to Emirates News Agency, Arada’s total group revenue rose by 170 percent to AED6.7 billion during 2025, as the company continued to expand aggressively across geographies and verticals, including hospitality, F and B, industry, entertainment, fitness, and wellness. Meanwhile, group earnings before interest, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) increased by 174 percent year on year to AED1.6 billion.
Both domestically and internationally, Arada achieved an array of key milestones in 2025. Its new project launches included Dubai’s Akala, the world’s first precision wellness destination, and Sharjah’s Masaar 2 and Masaar 3 forested communities, which ranked among the fastest-selling projects in the UAE last year.
Outside the UAE, Arada expanded its operations into the UK, committing AED2.5 billion to acquire 75 percent of British developer Regal (now Arada London) and land an 80 percent stake in London’s Thameside West mixed-use development. The master developer also submitted its first applications for projects in Sydney in 2025, following its entry into the Australian market the previous year.
Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud, Executive Vice Chairman of Arada, highlighted the company’s commitment to creating spaces that foster healthier and more meaningful lives. He stated that their performance in 2025 demonstrates buyers’ alignment with Arada’s vision and delivery track record.
Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada, noted that the company exceeded its AED15 billion sales target by over 15 percent in 2025. He added that Arada plans to continue its success with new project launches, completing existing projects, and expanding its international presence in 2026.
In total, Arada awarded AED12.7 billion worth of contracts last year, signing agreements for several significant developments, including Madar Mall in Aljada and Armani Beach Residences at Palm Jumeirah.
Arada’s performance was supported by the UAE’s robust property sector. Data from the Dubai Land Department indicated a 29 percent increase in property sales, reaching AED680 billion in 2025. The Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department reported a 64 percent increase in transaction values, amounting to AED65.6 billion.
Since its establishment in 2017, Arada has launched 11 projects in the UAE, delivering over 10,000 homes. With a project pipeline valued at AED130 billion, the company is developing approximately 55,000 units across its communities worldwide.
